Jakey and Jimmy











I really think Jake is like our James Dean in many aspects nowadays, and I think of Kirsten Dunst as the grunge version of Pier Angeli.

Test your Weirdness

I don't like too much taking this type of surveys, but my brother always calls me "nerd", "dork" and another names constantly, so I wanted to find out which of these variations of weird fits me better, and the results are I am:

Outcast Genius
73 % Nerd, 86% Geek, 73% Dork

For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.

A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.

A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.

You scored better than half in all three, earning you the title of:
"Outcast Genius".

Outcast geniuses usually are bright enough to understand what society wants of them, and they just don't care! They are highly intelligent and passionate about the things they know are *truly* important in the world. Typically, this does not include sports, cars or make-up, but it can on occassion (and if it does then they know more than all of their friends combined in that subject).

Outcast geniuses can be very lonely, due to their being outcast from most normal groups and too smart for the room among many other types of dorks and geeks, but they can also be the types to eventually rule the world, ala Bill Gates, the prototypical Outcast Genius.

Take your THE NERD? GEEK? OR DORK? TEST

"Anne Hathaway insists she only lands top roles turned down by more accomplished actresses. Hathaway claims filmmakers work their way down a list of stars and her name is near the bottom. She says "I'm on the long short list. But I'm not on the short short list, which is Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley". Source

Three Warriors





Our threesome of brave warriors "fighting" in the Lone Star State. My skin crawls, folks, but Jake is a smart fighter on his own, even taking tips from Lance and Matt, two infatigable texans.

Texas ACL Festival?


When I read that Jake mentioned in this interview What brings you to Austin? Are you just with Lance for the Ohio State game? Yeah, we're here for the game, and then we're going to hang out and go to ACL Fest. I remembered someone I know who attended last year the ACL Festival so she was really lucky of listening to Wilco, one of my favourite bands.




















Besides, now it's time for me to reveal that Jeff Tweedy, frontman of Wilco has been one of my permanent indie-rocker crushes. I was very smitten with Jeff Tweedy until Jake starred in "Jarhead" (I'm half-joking). One thing from this great singer/songwriter that atractted my attention was a sweet-features face like Jake's, his witty background, and a geeky quality too in both, as in the pictures where they seem to check their private parts out. Here you have some pictures of Jeff Tweedy I like of him the most.
The first photo isn't of Austin Festival (15-17 September), it's from Lollapalooza festival, in August 4-6 when Wilco played. The line-up from ACL this summer counts (among many others) with Van Morrison, Flaming Lips, Gomez and some "Americana" groups as Calexico or Son Volt, whose leader Jay Farrar (see below) founded with Jeff Tweedy alt-country pioneers Uncle Tupelo.

Finally, a token of Wilco from their last work "Kicking Television Live in Chicago", "Via Chicago"live song and another version:
"Via Chicago" demo.
